A classic hotel for a classic location, the Boston Marriott Long Wharf is a great way to enjoy Massachusetts’ capital city. Located along State Street and looking out at the east wharf, the upmarket option is as perfect for business travelers as families looking to make their summer vacation a splash. Upgrade to a club room for free continental breakfast & all-day snacks served in a private lounge, or enjoy luxurious suites, each one offering calm living areas, balconies, and select views of the harbor. With an on-site restaurant, indoor pool, and same-block access to the subway, you’ll also have every corner of the city at your disposal, not to mention the Hull Ferry along Long Wharf, which provides scenic lifts to Logan Airport.
Make the start of your day beautiful, enjoying nearby getaways from the Harborwalk, which leads to Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park as well as Wharf District Park’s urban greenbelt. Head west on State Street for a look at history, enjoying an afternoon of local shops and eclectic fisheries within the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, afterward taking a tour through the Old State House, famous for being Boston’s original capitol building now transformed into a museum of artifacts and exhibits on America’s most patriotic city. End the evening with dinner somewhere special, heading south of the Financial District for a slew of Asian eateries in Chinatown or going convenient with the on-site Waterline Restaurant, a dimly lit space with New England-style eats and views of the harbor.
